This machine I'm installing is being a complete PITA. Nearly everything on here needs at least some repair to it. Thing is, you wouldn't know it by looking at it - it actually looks to be in decent shape - but we've been nickel-and-dimed the entire time with stupid little crap here and there, plus a few big items.
What makes it worse is that the company who contracted me for the installation, my old employer, under-quoted the hours by half. They quoted 72 hours for this job, and I originally installed this machine brand-new 7 years ago at 115 hours including training. Add seven years of use and abuse, plus two cross-country moves in that time, and a few dubious repairs, and ohbytheway it was cannibalized at the last facility - which they knew about when quoting the job - and I'll be lucky to be out of here at double the quoted hours.
So every time I get something done and move to the next item, I'm thinking to myself, "What's it going to be THIS time..." And sure enough, something is going to be dicked-up. This morning it was a servo motor that flushed all of my plans for the day.
Ah well, the people here are easy to work with and are providing a lot of help - good help, not just warm bodies. Just hope that the bleeding stops soon so they can see the machine do something other than take up space and burn money.
